These pages mention a problem with IE and "app_offline.htm" files shorter than
512 bytes:

These pages argue that it would be better to return a 503 error that a 404:

Personally I would vote for an implementation that returns a 503 error and
makes sure the server page is at least 512 bytes long by appending whitespace
or an html comment if necessary.
